Forestry Friday … How to Tell When You’re Stuck in the Snow

As a public service to my fellow foresters and any interested civilians I present this video. Watch and you will see how to tell if your vehicle is stuck in the snow.


It took about two hours to dig out.

Snow Day!

Every kid loves a snow day.  It gets them out of school work.  I go to work to get a snow day!

Even Nellie likes a snow day.

We had the first snow of the season. It ended fire season and caused the first chain requirements this Fall, all in one day. The first day of October it was 103 F. Did we just skip Fall.?
